Peach County High School

Located in the heart of central Georgia, Peach County, our 161st county, was created from parts of Houston and Macon counties in 1924. Named for the area's abundant peach crop, Peach County is Georgia's newest and geographically one of the smallest counties (151 sq. miles) in Georgia. Fort Valley was established as a trading post in the early 1820's by James A. Everett and incorporated as a city in 1856.
Byron, like many other towns, grew up around a railroad. The community was a flag-stop known as "Number One and One-Half Station." The town was incorporated in 1874 and named for Lord Byron, the English poet.
The village of Powersville was first named Station One when the Southwestern Railroad was being built from Macon to Albany in 1852. Then its more suitable name was given in honor of Col. Virgil Powers, a civil engineer for the railroad.

Congratulations to the Vincent J. Dooley Award Winners from Peach County High School: Nicholas Landon Searcy and Natalie Paige McEver. These athletes were nominated by Chad Campbell, Athletic Director. This award is for the athlete’s character and accomplishments on and off the field for their entire high school career, and so “spring sport” athletes should have long since demonstrated their character and citizenship.

Every school award recipient, a school representative, and family members will be invited to attend the awards luncheon. At this event, the Dooley Awards will be presented and the Dooley Scholarship recipients announced.

The PCHS Symphonic Band, under the direction of Mr. Darren Johnson Sr., earned its 8th consecutive highest State evaluation rating of "Superior" performing advance/professional level band literature on Friday night at the 2015 District XI GMEA State High School Band Evaluation held here at Peach County High School. The Band performed three prepared selections for three state recognized adjudicators in the field of music education. The rating of "Superior" denotes "Outstanding performance. Worthy of distinction of being recognized as among the very best." Each Band member will receive an engraved medallion commemorating their accomplishment. This evaluation program is basically the "End Of Course Test (EOCT ) for middle & high school band programs and is sponsored by the Georgia Music Educators Association.

COVINGTON, Ga – Members of the Peach County FFA Chapter recently attended the Georgia FFA Success Conference held March 6-7, 2015, at the Georgia FFA-FCCLA Center.

The theme of the personal development event for 10-12th grade FFA members was “Go the Extra Mile.” During the two-day conference, members were encouraged to step out of their comfort zones and expand their leadership abilities. Students attended sessions that focused on time management, setting goals and becoming leaders in their schools and communities. Participants also engaged in a hunger simulation dinner and were challenged to be thankful for what they have and give to others in need. Members of the Georgia FFA state officer team led the conference.

COVINGTON, GA – Members of the Peach County FFA chapter attended the Georgia FFA Association’s Greenhand Jamboree on March 6-7, 2015, at the Georgia FFA-FCCLA Center near Covington.

The theme of the two-day conference was “Time for Action.” FFA members were challenged to expand their comfort zones and get involved in agricultural education and the FFA. Members of the Georgia state FFA officer team presented the conference and said they worked to show young agricultural education students the many benefits of becoming a member of the FFA.

“The Greenhand Jamboree is a wonderful opportunity for young FFA members,” said State FFA Secretary, Mollie Cromley. “It’s important to start these student’s FFA careers with an engaging, interactive experience, and that is what this conference does.”

Cole Smith, a high school senior at Peach County High School, has been named the 2015 PAGE Star Student.

Peach County students participated in the Georgia Jr National State Livestock Show. They started off Wednesday buy building our "Herdsman Display" and getting the calves settled in. On Thursday our Beef show team participated in showmanship and did very well, just missing the cutoff for final drive in 10th grade. On Friday the Beef show team participated in the Beef Heifer show and received two 1st place awards. The Dairy team also participated in showmanship Friday where Alissa Gallaher placed 3rd overall in 9th grade out of 30+ showmen. Also on Friday our Dairy team was evaluated for our "Herdsman Display". For this the students were judged on stall cleanliness, educational facts displayed, and overall team work and communication. The team received Grand Champion for this task. This was a huge accomplishment as we have received Reserve Grand Champion last year at state show and the fair. Saturday the dairy team participated in the Dairy Heifer show where we had a 1st, 3rd, 9th, and two 10th place calves. Overall the Beef and Dairy Show teams had a very successful weekend at the show. I would like to tell you both THANK YOU for allowing our school to offer this to our students and your continued support for our FFA program. It truly is a pleasure to be able to give students living in city limits the opportunity to raise and exhibit livestock.
